Questions & Comments

This car is actually an interesting novelty, because Allen never played for the Pirates. he was sent to the Bucs in the 1963-64 offseason as part of a conditional deal, and returned to the Indians before the 1964 season started. Similarly, I have a 1955 Bowman Preacher Roe card with the Orioles. Roe actually retired before playing for the Orioles. I had the good fortune to interview Roe shortly before he passed in 2008. He said he retired because baseball refused to make the spitball legal ... and refused to sign the 1955 Bowman, because he had never played for the O's.
